Examining an Effective Decision Making Tool What tools are available to assist teams in making a decision? In addition to creating an environment for effective decision making and reaching consensus on methods for making decisions as a team, there are tools that can assist teams in formulating and reaching decisions. Many of these tools were developed in the 1990s as companies working on improving quality and introducing self-managed team into the workplace. In decision-making there are many different decision-making models to assist us along the way. One thing with every decision- making model there are several decision-making tools needed to help narrow down the amount of information to only the ideas that are relevant to the …show more content…
When a selection process needs to be made after brainstorming. Guidelines for Conducting the Multivoting Activity: 1. Brainstorm a list of options. Conduct the Brainstorming activity to generate a list of ideas or options. 2. Review the list from the Brainstorming activity. Once you have completed the list, clarify ideas, merge similar ideas, and make sure everyone understands the options. Note: at this time the group is not to discuss the merits of any idea, just clarify and make sure everyone understands the meaning of each option. 3. Participants vote for the ideas that are worthy of further discussion. Each participant may vote for as many ideas as they wish. Voting may be by show of hands or physically going to the list and marking their choices or placing a dot by their choices. If they so desire, participants may vote for every item. 4. Identify items for next round of voting. Count the votes for each item. Any item receiving votes from half the people voting is identified for the next round of voting. For example, if there are 12 people voting, any item receiving at least six votes is included in the next round. Signify the items for the next vote by circling or marking them with a symbol, example all items with a star by the number will be voted on in the next round. 5. Vote again. Participants vote again, however this time they may only cast votes for half the items remaining on
First past the post is a simple plurality system which requires the plurality of votes to win: that is one more vote than the second candidate. There is no requirement to obtain the votes cast. In contests involving three or more candidates, the winner may fall
The decision-making process occurs at all levels of management. However, the top executive managers, middle level managers, and front line managers are responsible for guiding the decision making process within their healthcare organizations (Liebler & McConnell, 2008,p.148). CEO’s are responsible for guiding the actions and behaviors of their employees to collectively achieve the organization’s goals. The mission and vision statement are the foundation of what direction the healthcare agency is heading. The CEO and top level executives are responsible for developing code of ethics and code of conduct to align with accreditation, licensing, and federal and state laws.
In this essay I will assess the outcomes of Additional Member system, First Past the Post system and the Closed Party List system. The F-P-T-P system is used to elect the members of House of Commons and local government in England and Wales. Voters select candidates, and do so by marking his or her name with an ‘X’ on the ballot paper. This reflects the principle of ‘one person, one vote’. The Additional Members system is used in Scottish parliament, Welsh assembly, and Northern Ireland Assembly and Greater London assembly. It is a mixed system made up of F-P-T-P and party-list elements. The Regional party list (or the closed party list) is used to elect the

If your second choice is eliminated, your vote for third choice will be applied — and so on until someone wins a majority.
a) Decide on a program/initiative that you think would be worthy of the team creating. Describe the program/initiative.
IV. Identify problems and solutions with your plan (develop it) and also your aims and objectives:
The system that the Law Commission ultimately recommended was the mixed-member proportional electoral system. In the MMP system a portion of representatives, usually between 50 and 60 percent, are elected from single-member districts, similar to FPTP, with the remainder of seats being elected from party lists, based on the party’s share of the popular vote (Law Commission 22). Each voter gets to cast two votes, one for the party that they support and another for the representative member that they prefer. Party lists can be either closed, where voters are not able to influence the order of candidates, or open, where voters have the ability to influence the ranking of candidates. A threshold for representation is usually set in order to prevent fringe and extremist parties from gaining seats in government. This system is used in Germany, New Zealand, Venezuela and Lesotho (Joseph 113).
A winner-take-all system is, as the name suggests, one where the winner (the majority vote in this case) is the only one selected for representation. The margin of victory does not matter; a 45 percent majority is counted the same a 60
Your task is to design and implement a set of classes that process a collection of Integer objects, corresponding to votes for each candidate.
To clearly understand the concept of PR and how does it work, two most common forms of PR must be evaluated. They are Single Transferable Vote (STV) and Additional Member System (AMS). In Single Transferable Vote (STV) each voter has only one vote. As in the name of the system word “Transferable” occurs, so votes may go from a candidate who is first preference, to the second and continues if there is no opportunity for a preferred candidate to win or a candidate already has enough votes. In this case it is not obligatory to have a majority of votes, because all is needed is just to reach a “quota” of 50%. Candidates, who have the least votes are eliminated and votes are redistributed. Using this voting system, voters have more choice than in any other systems.
The use of these tools will enable management in obtaining a level of comfort with making the tough choices.
4. Action: List and describe 4-5 action steps to turn your plan into reality and implement the plan
Each candidate (alternative) gets 1 point for a one-on-one win and a half a point for a tie. The candidate (alternative) with the most total points is the winner.
This method has three rules that must be followed, namely the need to write or carry forward cycle contributed three ideas in 5 minutes should be written in the form brainwriting then give it to the next member. This is more of a discussion circle forward the idea of each member. Next rules is following that members read every idea that was written to serve as an inspiration to be create creative idea, if there is an idea written on the same form barinwriting, finally, this method requires 6 participants sit together and helped by a moderator.
